Tuddingan Falls


The Province of La Union is blessed with majestic waterfalls because of the continued protection of trees in its mountains that help keep our bodies of water flourish, constantly nurturing Mother Nature all year round, and an example of which is the enchanting Tuddingan Falls in the Municipality of Naguilian. Unlike other waterfalls in the province which have poor accessibility, visitors have the luxury of walking on a 700-meter cemented pathway with grills beside Bagulin Road up to the hill overlooking the waterfall, which has become a priceless treasure of La Union’s Basi capital.

Tuddingan Falls

The Province of La Union is blessed with majestic waterfalls because of the continued protection of trees in its mountains that help keep our bodies of water flourish, constantly nurturing Mother Nature all year round, and an example of which is the enchanting Tuddingan Falls in the Municipality of Naguilian.  Unlike other waterfalls in the province which have poor accessibility, visitors have the luxury of walking on a 700-meter cemented pathway with grills beside Bagulin Road up to the hill overlooking the waterfall, which has become a priceless treasure of La Union’s Basi capital.  According to the friendly village chief, the sources of Tuddingan Falls are the numerous water springs in the mountains which also supply the vast riceland of Naguilian.  All year round, Tuddingan promises a fantastic view, showcasing clean and strong water.  This towering beauty of about 70 feet has a man-made pool-like base which makes it more tempting to swimmers, especially for those who love to make daring dives by jumping from its perfectly formed multi-layered rock strata.  Tuddingan Falls was the venue of the 2004 Global Reunion of Naguilian, where the balikbayan's homesick feeling was instantly quenched by the charming waterfall.    

Two huts and a comfort room were constructed in the area to serve the needs of visitors, and likewise, a 3-storey reservoir is also being planned for construction at the top of the waterfalls to control the drop of water and assure the visitors during any season of a strong and captivating waterfall.

Visitors can reach Tuddingan Falls by Tricycles or Jeepneys bound for the town of Bagulin, which is about 6 Kilometers away from the town proper of Naguilian.
